Lost in translation

Hello guys!

I wonder if you're familiar with Russian slang: does anyone know a good equivalent for this line from a hip-hop track: "Во даю, во даю, по хип-хопу ботаю"?

A tip: this phrase is derived from the expression "по фене ботать" which means to talk in a special language popular among criminals and former convicts.

Some examples of the context:

1)Во даю, во даю, по хип-хопу ботаю,
В микрофон дую-дую, много не работаю.

2)Во даю, во даю, по хип-хопу ботаю,
Выдаю в куплетах топ флоу, а не воду лью.

Thanks,
Peter

Rock rhymes with talk.

Something like - Gosh, I rock! Gosh, I rock, listen to me hip-hop talk. ;--)

Yeah, that's nice, thanks... =) I was thinking of "Watch me blow, watch me rock, I am gonna hip-hop talk", but your version is probably better!
